The band gave the song an emotionally resonant acoustic performance, highlighting singer Wesley Schultz’s impassioned vocals. The singer offered, “And if the sun don’t shine on me today/ And if the subways flood and bridges break/ Will you just lay down and dig your grave?/ Or will you rail against your dying day?”

Before “Ho Hey” catapulted the Lumineers and its founding members Wesley Schultz and Jeremiah Fraites to multi-platinum status in nearly a dozen countries, the band toured the country as an independent act, playing plenty of Diy house shows along the way. Those humble beginnings helped launch one of the biggest careers in modern folk-rock music, and they also dominate the latter half of the Lumineers’ conversation with podcast host Chris Shiflett during this new episode of Walking the Floor.

The Lumineers take on the holiday season in the name of a good cause with a brittle new cover of Willie Nelson’s Christmas classic “Pretty Paper.”
Written by Nelson in 1963, “Pretty Paper” became a hit the following year in the hands of Roy Orbison, whose version coupled the tale of a forlorn street vendor with lush strings and backup singers. Nelson did his own typically minimalist recording 15 years later for the Pretty Paper LP, and the Lumineers’ new rendition follows very much in the Red Headed Stranger’s vein.

The Lumineers unveiled a stripped-down cover of Tom Petty’s “Walls” to mark the one-year anniversary of the rocker’s death.
The track finds the Lumineers deftly transforming Petty’s ramshackle 1996 rocker into a simple folk-stomper, bolstered by acoustic guitar, accordion and tambourine. Lumineers singer and guitarist Wesley Schultz cloaks his vocals with a bit of distant static that adds a poignant warmth, as he and the rest of the group harmonize, “You’ve got a heart so big/ It could crush this town/ And I can’t hold out forever/ Even walls fall down.

The Lumineers didn’t think anything could shock them after their meteoric rise to fame following their 2012 breakout hit, “Ho Hey.” But when they learned that they sold out not just one, but two shows at Madison Square Garden this month for their Cleopatra World Tour (following their sophomore album), they were floored.
“It blew my mind,” lead vocalist and guitarist Wesley Schultz tells People. “Msg is this right of passage — this gauge of how well you’re doing.”
“I remember listening to the Jay Z song where he says, ‘You gotta pardon Jay, for sellin’ out the Garden in a day,...

She's won an Oscar for her acting talent, and now Jennifer Lawrence is poised to take over the musical world, too.
Lawrence, who is featured in "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1" on the song "The Hanging Tree," has said that she hates her voice and was traumatized when asked to sing on set. But that hasn't stopped "The Hanging Tree," a single on the official "Mockingjay" soundtrack, from taking off on the pop charts, notching high rankings internationally -- and poised to debut in the Billboard Hot 100 stateside.
In Australia, Lawrence is currently sitting at the No. 12 spot on the Aria Australian Top 50 Singles Chart. She also holds the No. 14 spot on the Official U.K. Singles Chart.
And that's not all. According to Billboard, Lawrence should land somewhere in the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 once those numbers are released on Wednesday, December 3. The track, led by...

Jennifer Lawrence is storming the music charts. The "Hunger Games" star may have cried before shooting the "Mockingjay" scene in which she sings the haunting James Newton Howard-composed tune "The Hanging Tree," but the emotional ordeal appears to be paying off. Not only has the song reached No. 12 and No. 14 on the Australian (Aria) and U.K. singles charts, respectively, it also looks primed for a Top 40 debut on the Billboard Hot 100. Additionally, it's been forecast to sell in the ballpark of 150,000 downloads in its first week. Of course, Lawrence wouldn't be the first movie star-turned-Billboard chart success; Anna Kendrick's "Pitch Perfect" cover "Cups" peaked at No. 6 on the Hot 100 last year. Written by "Hunger Games" author Suzanne Collins and Lumineers bandmates Jeremiah Fraites and Wesley Schultz, "The Hanging Tree" is included on the official "Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1" soundtrack.
